'A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness, but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet breathing' Keats

About Me

I am lucky enough to work from home indulging my passion for vintage & antique textiles, haberdashery & other paraphernalia that I just can't live without. I am partial to chippy paintwork, faded photographs & reading cards & letters that have long ago lost their owners. I realise that I will never make my fortune doing what I love, but the pleasure I get from hand~making something completely unique is reward enough. Working with treasures in the form of textiles, buttons, beads & trims is a privilege and I strive every day to learn more about their past.

I do hope that Summer might have finally arrived ~ we have a lovely sunny day here today...

The new Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine, June issue has just arrived in stock from Denmark and is full of inspirational photographs to cheer me up after all the horrid weather in the UK over the past few days!

I shall be attending the Vintage Festival at Farnham Maltings in Surrey for the first time this Sunday ~ really looking forward to this busy fair, lots of fabulous stallholders! It would be lovely to see some familiar faces if you can make it...
